Playing with Fire ~ Katie MacAlister

this is the first book in the Silver Dragons series, an offshoot of the Aisling Grey series. May is a doppleganger, who is bound to a demon lord. After being assigned to steal an item from one of the dragon wyverns, May encounters Gabriel, the wyvern for the silver dragons. They battle through the misadventures of May's twin, Cyrene, and May herself, while trying to figure out who is after them and how to bet May free of her demon lord.

Dragon Harper ~ Anne McCaffrey and Todd McCaffrey

This is another in the ever growing Pern series begun by Anne McCaffrey. This book is a continuation of Dragon's Kin, and tells the continuing story of Kindan, after he turned Kist over to Nuella and moved to the the Harper Hall, and for the next couple of years on Pern.

Anne's son, Todd, seems to have taken over this series, and I enjoy his work, but it has a totally different feel than his mother. Todd seems to write a less complex and in depth story. He tells one story, from the beginning to the end, instead of jumping from one character to another to tell several facets of the tale. Still good, and very enjoyable, but just not the same.

Physik ~ Angie Sage

This is the third book in the Septimus Heap series. This book takes place only a few months after the last, Septimus is the apprentice to the Extraordinary Wizard, and studying for exams, when suddenly he is taken back in time, and now Jenna and all the others must find a way to bring him back.

Dragon's Blood ~ Patricia Briggs

This is the conclusion to the Hurog Duology. This novel takes place four years after the previous book. The king has recalled that Ward was supposedly not smart enough to manage Hurog on his own, and has sent soldiers to bring him back to Court, to be tested and determine his capabilities for himself.

Dragon's Fire ~ Anne McCaffrey & Todd McCaffrey

This is a Pern Novel (way too many to count, and the order can be confusing) , This takes place during the second interval, during the same time, but from a different perspective, as Dragon's Kin. This story deals less with the mining of coal, and more with the Shunned and the mining of firestone, and how dangerous firestone mining can be. Yet the firestone is extremely important, as the time for the third pass is coming and they need the firestone for the dragons to burn the thread from the sky, and to practice being able to do so.

I really enjoyed this story, as I always enjoy the Pern novels. This feels to be more of Todd's work than Anne's as I can tell the difference in the 'feel' of Todd's work than from Anne's not that I don't like it just as much, it just has a different feel to it, and a different approach to the people.
